A particle starts from origin at t = 0 with a velocity 5 i m/s and moves in x-y plane under action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of (3 i + 2 j) m/s2. If the x-coordinate of the particle at that instant is 84 m, then the speed of the particle at this time is m/s. The value of is .
Answer
673
Solution
x-motion: vx2 = ux2 + 2axx = 25 + 2(3)(84) = 529 vx = 23 m/s
t = vx - uxax = 23 - 53 = 6 s
y-motion (uy = 0): vy = ayt = 2 6 = 12 m/s
v2 = vx2 + vy2 = 529 + 144 = 673
v = 673 m/s, = 673
Answer: 673
